2. I don't know about ORCA

Seems Orca and the vote manipulation operations were separate.

Y'know, I have not seen one investigative report about Orca, have you?

As for being networked into the county system all it takes is being able to log in, much the same as logging in at DU. With the right username and password, you're in. No telling how many people are allowed to be logged in to a county/state network, probably hundreds.
